very good pictures

**Ive** · February 1st, 2008, 08:57 AM

Gustavo, thx.

I bought some tempera yesterday so I tried to do some tradional painting, I don't even have to mention I was frustrated

I'm used to watercolors and working with more opaque medium currently is a pain in the ass... But I'm looking forward to some mixing with watercolors and inks, oh and the feeling of scattered brushes, colors and papers all around the table in 3 in the morning ^^. These (paintings) actually came out ok, but the pencils are messed up, 'couse I spent like only 5-10 minutes on sketching out the characters due to laziness *sigh*

I hope I won't offend anyone with a bit of dark humor too, heh -_-'

**Pascallo** · February 1st, 2008, 09:15 AM

HEy there! Pretty good stuff you got in here. The traditional things turned out not that bad man. and its funny you consider those pencils as rough since their looking pretty awesome!

**dorobo** · February 1st, 2008, 09:20 AM

cool stuff (:
it's all good, but this one caught my eye

I love how much you experiment with different rendering styles! Really neat...

One overall critique I have after flipping through is you could concentrate a bit more on your digital highlights...sometimes the midtones flow too smoothly into them, or they simply arent bright enough!...they will just sell your forms even more

hopfuly it wont hurt the style you like but its worth a shot

**hurricane** · February 1st, 2008, 03:30 PM

wonderful stuff! last one is hilarious

**tokidokizenzen** · February 1st, 2008, 04:06 PM

This neo baroque stuff is excellent.

**Ive** · February 8th, 2008, 12:15 PM

Pascallo: thanks, I think you misunderstood me, I meant the pencils I did for paintings, other ones are much much more than 10 minutes

dorobo: thx, I did that for a DSG topic, if I remember correctly.

Jakers: thank you for taking your time to do a critique, I'll definitley look into this stuff

hurricane: hah, I'm glad you liked it ^^ perv!

tokidokizenzen: thank you.

Here's some more stuff, mostly sketches and two croquis. I did the inks for the viking pretty nervously, I really have to calm myself before working with brush.
You may notice frazetta influence in some of the sketches ^^
One of them is for this week's CHOW, but I don't know if I'll have time to finish it up as I want it.

**Ive** · February 8th, 2008, 12:19 PM

Almost forgot, a speedpaint:

**Ive** · February 9th, 2008, 10:18 AM

I inked this today, a few hours all in all... done little tweaks in PS.

**RandAlThor** · February 9th, 2008, 10:30 AM

I like your lines dude, and that ink stuff is coming along nicely. Can you post a few more faces only.. im interested in how your getting so much expression with such simple features... (a compliment lol) ;-)

**Ive** · February 9th, 2008, 01:45 PM

Hah, RandAlThor, thanks for the compliment. I think the point with good inking is that you have to be fully aware of the object you're inking, like his volume, texture and where does the light come from. Then you have to express the shadows and texture with as little simple strokes as possible

Because when human eye is viewing the subject, it sees forms and play of light and shadow, not lines. (or so i think^^)
I'll post some more faces when i do them

**Ive** · February 11th, 2008, 07:24 PM

Well, here's something I did on sunday, nothing special but I like how the skintones came out. The detective guy is in a heavy WIP stage (actually only his head is relativley ok^^) Hope I'll catch some time tomorrow to finish him...

**minjarr** · February 11th, 2008, 07:42 PM

hey man, solid progress here. I really like how bold your choices are.

keep it up!

**Quigleyer** · June 10th, 2008, 05:34 PM

I've been off and on rummaging through this thread for about an hour now and felt the need to commend you on an awesome sketchbook. I really like the choices you're making and how simplistic some of your pieces are, while still conveying a lot of mood and telling the story well.

Good job man.

**Dan Valkar** · June 10th, 2008, 07:02 PM

man! really cool stuff in here, nice characters and enviros!..ur line looks very clasic, like frazzeta ..great work, keep postin'!!!!!

**Ive** · July 25th, 2008, 05:16 AM

Quigleyer, wow for an hour

thank man, glad you like my work

Dan Valkar, yeah I prefer classic and fluid lines ala Wally Wood over some over-rendered stuff!

I left my scanner back in Zagreb so I dug some old and some not-so-old stuff I found on my laptop that I haven't posted yet

hope you like,
I.

**Ive** · July 31st, 2008, 09:53 AM

Here's a peak at my latest work in progress, and an original size detail

**Ive** · September 14th, 2008, 01:38 PM

Something from today, I like the way my brushes are going ^^

**Ive** · September 16th, 2008, 06:42 AM

Great to see the work and the improvement!

**enthombed** · November 13th, 2008, 04:04 PM

**enthombed** · November 13th, 2008, 04:07 PM

Hey man nice inks you have here, good source to inspire.

**Ive** · December 9th, 2008, 09:57 PM

Kidult, Enthomed thanks a lot for stopping by!
I know I haven't updated for a long time but keeping with the deadlines and the college doesn't leave me with much time to post! Here are some doodles from tonight, hope you dig.
No pencil, the blue lines are done with fabric marker (the closest thing to technical transparent ones I could find here in Zagreb) and the black is a regular Faber-Castell marker... I find this way of drawing very smooth and fluid, I think I'll experiment a bit more with this

The blue fabric marker is great to lay out the general form of a drawing on paper while keeping it transparent and loose, I almost like it more than blue pencil!

**My57** · March 25th, 2009, 07:38 PM

hey!

really like this image:

awesomeness right there.

anyways can't wait to see some more stuff from ya. I would recommend practicing a bit on your characters stances, some of them look like their about to fall over.
